Slide power source

Do the slides run directly off the house battery, when hooked to shore power?

If 12 volt electric motor slide system, then NO. The battery is usually required to be installed and charged up, but the slide system is wired to the 12 volt breaker panel supply. Most slides require both a charged up battery AND connected to 120 shore Power(Power Converter) for optimum operation. Very few Slide systems are wired direct to the 12 volt battery posts. Doug

Slides always operate off of 12volt (battery) no matter if hydraulic or electric motor. Hydraulic uses 1 motor to run the hydraulic pump to operate multiple slides. Multiple motors(1 per slide) are used if rack an pinion or cable operated. Shore power (110volt) runs the converter that charges the battery to make everything work. Sometimes you can run the slides without a battery when plugged in if motors don't draw more amps than the converter puts out. Randu

They are motors. Cog gear system.

Yes.
I do need to qualify that answer. Are your slides operated from electric motors or hydraulics?

Yes. They must, or you'd have to be plugged in to move them, and that would suck.
